ambiente ( ahm-bee-ehn'- teh )

noun ( atmosphere, environment )

Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her suggestions. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Hace algunos minutos se cambió el ambiente de mi casa. Antes de que encendiera al ordenador hacía bastante frío en la casa pero ya que he visto las felicitaciones tan amables de todos mis amigos es como si tuviera una brasa en el centro de mi pecho . ¡ Gracias a todos!

A few minutes back the atmosphere in my house changed. Before I switched on the computer it felt very cold in the house but now that I have seen the kind congratulations from all my friends I seem to have a warming fire in the middle of my chest . Thank you, everybody!
